A MEETING of creative minds in the Darlington community will be held in a bid to develop a new workspace for businesses, artists and producers.

Throughout the summer, What Next culture group and Darlington Borough Council have hosted walks around the town centre with art groups to discuss how culture can contribute to economic growth in the town.

Creative Darlington will now lead an open session to discuss the potential development of a permanent or temporary creative workspace in the town centre.

Everyone is welcome to the GROWing Creative Space in Darlington event on Friday, September 23, between 2pm and 5pm in the Friends Meeting House, Skinnergate.

Anyone interested in the event is asked to email Stephen Wiper to confirm attendance via stephen.wiper@darlington.gov.uk
